It was suggested first that I call this 
book simply “California,” but after 
thinking it over I began to visualize the 
cover of such a book and decided it 
wouldn’t do, because I pictured it as 
looking like a seed catalogue—an ugly 
red book perhaps, with a decoration of 
yellow poppies spraying out from 
under the lettering. But then thinking 
of the poppies gave me am idea at once. 
Why not Lemons and Poppies? 

That said exactly what I meant, so 
it was the perfect name. 

These drawings were made in Cali¬ 
fornia, and have a few local references, 
else they might as well apply to the 
people of any other State in the Union. 
The faces are not caricatures, because 
they’re not exaggerated. Many of 
them are even greatly modified. I find 
find the human race funny enough just 
taken straight as it is, but if one gives 
a too close representation of it the 
result is always apt to be mistaken for 
caricature. So that’s why 1 troubled 
myself to make some modifications. 




O 



Miss Eureka has just heard somebody 
attacking the California climate. 








Leslie is a vaudeville dancer; also sings 
“Mother O’ Mine” [by request]. 



Janet is looking at the advertisement 
of an osteopath, and trying to re¬ 
member the difference between 
Osteopathy and Theosophy. 






Albert is a student in one of the Cali¬ 
fornia universities. He has what 
Nietzsche referred to as “That 
spirit of gravity by which 
all things sink.” 




Dulcina is playing in “The Queen of 
Sheba.” Right in the midst of a 
love scene, the leading man, 
whom she had thought a per¬ 
fect gentleman, stepped 
on her foot. 








Fanchionette De Courcy is a screen 
favorite, but she says her soul 
isn’t in the work. 



( 


Professor Doodle Bug teaches palm¬ 
istry, psychoanalysis, chiropody, 
mind reading, hypnotism, osteo¬ 
pathy and many other things. 






Mrs. Poinsettia belongs to the Ladies’ 
Auxiliary of the Civic Club. She is 
listening to a lecture on better 
roads and more babies. 



Mrs. Warrington Jones was one of the 
first leaders in the woman suffrage 
movement. She also lectures 
on Theosophy and wears 
Educator shoes. 


A* 






Hannah Lawson runs a goat ranch, 
husband and nine children. 



The girls who go to Marshmallow’s for 
Golden Gate sundaes have heard 
Marcellus is a millionaire’s son 
masquerading as a soda clerk. 




The Merchant of Venice, Cal. 






Mrs. Alabaster Black is a member of 
the “How to Remain Pure Though 
Married Club.” She is our great¬ 
est authority on that subject. 







Jerry Booster is in the real estate busi¬ 
ness. He says he wants to see the 
whole desert blooming like a 
rose. His ad reads: “I supply 
the desert and you 
make it bloom.” 



Life is dull since Alma gave up the 
circus. She now does death leaps 
in the movies, and the quiet 
is getting on her nerves. 


♦ -i 4»t 



Danny plays cherub parts in the 

movies. 




Miss Twaddle lectures at women’s 
clubs. She says if we only had 
more writers in America like the 
author of “Pollyanna,” our 
morale would be greatly 
improved. 



Judge Aurelius M. Black has retired 
from the bench with dyspepsia. 

He is against everything 
but the Government. 



m 



Dicky is flirting with one of the bride’ 
maids, and Sarah is thinking, “If 
he begins this early, I know 
what to expect ...” 






Nicky is at church. He is watching 
yellow-jacket hum about the 
head of the preacher. 




Mrs. Bella Twombly is president of 
the Society for the Prevention of 
Watching Isadora Duncan Dance. 









This is the Rev. Ishmael B. Hellfire. 
He says the whole of Hollywood is 
going to be swallowed up in an 
earthquake some day; that it 
can’t escape the wrath of 
God much longer. 



Elmira proposes to remain singl 
Says she knows too much about 
men already. 




Cecil is back in “God’s Own Country.'® 
He is a West Point Cadet and 
thinks the next war will 
start in California. 



Miss Eileen Everglade says she thinks 
the Einstein theory is a joke. 



Ezr a Quince is a prominent member of 
the “Watch the Unclean Books 
League.” He says: “It is an estab¬ 
lished fact that a genius has no 
morals. It is the duty, then, of 
every publisher to exclude from 
his lists all literature suspected 
of being from the pen of a 
genius. My slogan is, Pure 
Literature or NO Litera¬ 
ture. If we cannot purify 
the publishing business, 
then, by all means let 
las put an end to it.” 



MunimiiN 1 



Miss Faith Pinpoint is an artist who 
still thinks that genius is the capac¬ 
ity for taking infinite pains. 

She is now studying a pic¬ 
ture by Meissonier. 



Tom is in the mezzanine of a Frisco 
hotel. He thinks the young lady 
across the way has winked at 
him, but he isn’t quite positive. 





Madge is very popular. She fits in 
anywhere, and has no pe¬ 
culiar ideas. 




Claude hasn’t succeeded at anything 
yet; but his family keep on invest¬ 
ing money in him, thinking 
he will some day. 






Miss Veronica Metcalfe is still hoping. 



Harry Gopher is having his palm read. 
He is concentrating on keeping his 
mind blank, so the palmist 
won’t read that too. 





Georgette is a movie star. She says 
that contrary to the general opinion, 
it takes the keenest of intellects 
to survive the movies. 



Miss Virginia Creeper has social aspir¬ 
ations. She has lately become en¬ 
gaged to California’s most 
prominent "bootlegger.” 





Violet Primadora is at the movies. She 
is looking at a man in the row 
back of her who insists on 
reading the captions aloud. 




This is the highly respected Mr. 
Lysander F. Cunningham, the prom¬ 
inent prosecuting attorney. He 
says he won’t rest until he 
“deems up” California and 
that his success so far has 
been largely due to prayer. 




Mrs. Quincy Adams Buckrum of 
Eagle Rock, says: “All for¬ 
eigners are immoral.” 



Dr. Diabetes is going to get a new 
automobile. At this minute he is 
contemplating removing his 
patient’s appendix, as the 
operation will easily 
cover the expense. 



Miss Catalina says she feels so sorry 
for people who can’t appreciate 
Ella Wheeler Wilcox. 



Mr. Bargeton is either playing pin¬ 
ochle, or soaking his feet in hot 
water, or reflecting on the 
immortality of the soul. 

I don’t know which. 



Ellals friends all tell her she has hair 
and eyes like Mary Pickford; 
but it doesn’t seem to do 
her any good. 





Miss Peever says she has never been 

understood. 




Clara May is the sister of a famous 
medium. She is a little 
psychic herself. 






Mrs. Lizzie Spinach has cremated two 
husbands. She smells the scent of 
orange blossoms in the Spring 
and craves romance. 





Milly Frankfurt is at the movies watch¬ 
ing her favorite actor, Will Rogers. 
She always goes to see his pic¬ 
tures and imagines her¬ 
self as the heroine. 



Fred sells real estate and oil stock. He 
is proud to say that he’s a “he man” 
and belongs to all “red-blooded” 
lodges and clubs. 



Flora’s mother sent her to a May party 
and she wasn’t a success; but 
she’s making the best of it. 



Mrs. Archibald Jefferson says her 
ancestors came over on the May¬ 
flower, and it is a constant pleas¬ 
ure to know that she didn’t 
spring up like a mush¬ 
room in the night. 
















Hubert is the Valentino of Sawtelle. 





Helvetia’s parents were spiritualists. 
All during the time she was about 
to be born they kept their minds 
off of earthly things. Notice 
her far-away look. 



Sadie works in a cafeteria. A customer 
has paid her a compliment and Sadie 
is wondering whether he means 
it, or whether he’s just trying 
to get fresh with her. 





Carter is a bellboy at one of the lead¬ 
ing hotels. He is sizing up a lady 
and deciding that his tip will 
be about 3 cents. 









Mrs. Dumbell has just met her neigh¬ 
bor’s daughter, who is a shopgirl. 
Mrs. D. is thinking, “How on 
earth can a respectable girl 
dress that fine on such 
a small salary!” 



Miss Violet Ray heard that Los An¬ 
geles was in the Psychic Belt, so she 
came to cultivate her soul. She 
has cut out beefsteak and 
she now vibrates to a color. 



Mrs. Bitterender is attending the latest 
murder trial. She is looking at the 
accused and saying to herself, 
“Hanging is too good for 
that woman!” 





Clytemnestra is in the movies. She 
says it’s the funniest thing how 
people always think movie 
girls are vamps. 













Rosa is a stenographer for an automo¬ 
bile sales company. She is fond 
of saying: “Oh, Boy!” and 
“I’ll tell the world!” 






Mr. Pinoodle’s son is an artist. Mr. 
Pinoodle says he reckons art is all 
right, but he thinks being an 
artist ought to be against 
the law. 










Corinne is awfully sorry the war is 
over, because she can’t help the 
soldiers any more. She says it 
was such fun, and they 
were such dears. 



Vv ' 



Mrs. Flint Ridge is keeping an eye on 

her husband. 




This is one of the Poppies.
